see, here's the thing.
if you want twitter to die, you have to starve it of oxygen.

stuff like nitter and xcancel may make you feel like you have the moral high ground because 'you arent actually going to twitter' but the reality is that despite you proxying your request through an intermediary, you are still going to twitter.

and twitter counts every hit, every read, every request - even if its proxied - as traffic and in some cases active user count.

and MAU is how they measure success
